Dave Cameron (Fangraphs) predicts Garza...

[VariousCrap]

If the Angels can get Garza for 4/50, that would be an incredible deal.  I really hope this happens.

[Travis Painter]

Roger lodge just opened his show saying he's hearing garza to angels for a three year deal. Grain of salt

I'd lol if Roger Lodge broke a story

As much as Lodge is a homer, I would hope that he wouldn't drop incorrect info like that on the ANGELS RADIO STATION.

the rumors are getting better and better.

That would be hilarious if Lodge broke this story.

 

He'd probably brag about it on his show for the next year. 

[jshep]

Above and beyond the lol Rodger Lodge factor, I would be pretty shocked if Garza signed a 3 year deal. Unless someone really piled onto the AAV, I guess. 

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

Lodge was much better in that dating show (Blind Date).

[Erstad Grit]

I'd much rather have Jimenez who would probably cost the same but I get that we cannot keep handing away draft picks. 

[NrM]

I really don't see him getting anything less than 60 million. Probably closer to 70 than 60.

Teams not having to give up draft picks to sign him raises his price a little.

Roger Lodge's favorite player:  "C.C.!   Cole Calhoun!"

[Angel Oracle]

Rogelio Chavez was a basketball player in HS.

The next smart thing he says about baseball will be the first.

Just consider him the Colin Cownerd of SoCal.

By "grain of salt" I assume you mean ...

 

 

[Count Orlok]

Weren't they talking $100M for him when the offseason started? That's a huge difference. It wouldn't surprise me if he only made 90 starts over 4 years but there aren't a whole lot of options for pitching either.

[Stradling]

I was listening to MLB radio today and they thought Arroyo would be a good fit here. They pointed out that he makes half his starts in GABP and he still has a 3 ERA and pitches 200 innings every year.

[Cdaniel]

Arroyo just doesn't do anything for me. I'd rather the Angels do nothing at all then sign Arroyo.

[Mark68]

He doesn't do anything for you NOW.

 

If the Angels sign him, he will do things for you.

 

Those things mostly involve porcelain thrones, whether sitting on them or kneeling before them.

[Jimmag]

If no Tanaka then, it's Garza time get it done.

[Halofan]

For that price we better grab Garza. I don't see us signing Tanaka I don't even see where we have talked to him. The deadline is only a couple days away and if the Angels signed Tanaka it would be a total blindside at this point. I honestly don't think we were ever in it at this point... If we get Garza at 4 / 50 I would be happy.

[vlad27]

Well if we get Garza that completes a non hot stove winning off season - fine by me our two previous hot stove trophies didn't translate too well once the games were played

[YouthofToday]

Garza's price is what the market will pay. If he only gets a 3 year deal or a 4/$50 makes you wonder why. Teams have the money to bid this up.

Can it be that GM's are getting smart?  Really, going into this offseason, I think the consensus among most here was that the starting pitching class was really weak.  But because of supply and demand, they would be paid handsomely because of the limited supply.  But now, it seems like GM's are only willing to pay what they are actually worth.  And not the amount, like in the Santana case, where his agent made a case where he should be paid like an ace.  

[VariousCrap]

There are just not that many teams that need Garza.  Garza is a #3.  Most teams are looking for a front end of the rotation starter and don't want to spend much money for a #3.  Garza makes sense for the Angels because they need a #3.  You are not going to see a bidding war for Garza.

 

I think the Angels will sign Garza for 3-4 years at an average of 12-14 million a year.

I'm guessing teams have looked at his medicals and been scared off a bit.
